I am aware of the fact that I hate contention, but it still surprised me last night when I couldn’t sit in the room while the presidential debate was on. I listened to it from the other room, but I couldn’t stand to watch.

During said debate, I worked on a mitten. I’m about to close it off and start the thumb, which is nerve wracking because this is my first time using the “afterthought” tecnique. Abigail wants a pair of mittens herself (although she won’t knit them. Or will she???). She thinks the V’s are hearts, and told me that she wants hearts and stars on hers. Hey Stephanie, how do I thrum stars?

Since I haven’t heard from either my mom or my sister, it’s probably safe to say that they haven’t been reading the blog. Perhaps the mittens will be a surprise after all. Who knew? OR, hehe, maybe I’ll keep them.
